Apps for Aeon Multisensor 6 and for Fakro window opener?

JonJon Member
in Archive
Anyone got plans to build apps for the Aeon Multisensor 6 and/or Fakro Window opener (zws 230 or zws 12, documentation: http://www.pepper1.net/zwavedb/device/181) ?

Both are z-wave devices, by the way.

    Do you need an app?
    Have you tried adding them?
  • JonJon Member
    Haven't got my Homey yet... :( but I doubt if they will work ootb. Anyone? 
  • Fire69Fire69 Member
    They might.  Normally, if the right classes are supported, it should be OK.
    You'll have to wait until you have your Homey and check...
    Unless somebody else can test for you of course :)

    I hope these Aeon Labs 6 in 1 sensors will be supported ootb... I am planning to buy 3 of them :smile: 
  • UrandayUranday Member
    If someone has this device, please let me know. Im in the process choosing between the fibaro and the aeon...
  • Fire69Fire69 Member
    I'm doubting which one to buy next also.
    The Aeon Labs has more sensors and is waterproof, but is obviously more expensive.
    If you don't need all the features, I guess the Fibaro is OK.  Plus it's very small compared to the Aeon Labs :)

    @Uranday ;I have currently got 1 Fibaro motion sensor in use with Domoticz and it works great as well... The reason I am planning on Aeon Labs 6 in 1 is the option to easily connect it to USB power so I don't need batteries.... :smile:  But the Fibaro sensor works good as well :+1: 
  • Fire69Fire69 Member
    I've had the Fibaros for 4 months now, battery is still reported at 100% (we'll have to wait and see if that's correct)
    So if I have to change the battery once a year maybe, that's not a problem for me.

    Is it waterproof? I can't find the IP-rating which usually means it's not.. I'd like to know if it's safe to use in our bathroom, where it can get really, really humid when taking a hot shower (no ventilation).

    @Fire69 I have the Aeon one and must say it's really really small and personally I think it's got a much better (more unobtrusive) look than fibaro's sensor. Just FYI... 

    Edit: both are very small: http://blog.domadoo.fr/2015/06/03/aeon-labs-multisensor-6-smart-switch-6-lampoule-led-approche/. Must say still prefer Aeon's look.

    MultiSensor 6 is not working. The only values i get is battery, temp , luminance and generic alarm. The generic alarm never seems to get tringerd by motion .

    Not moisture level, @mruiter?

    From their site :
    Outdoor sensor.
    Use outdoor intelligence. IP20 rated, you can use MultiSensor 6 outdoors by disabling its motion sensor and usings its 5 other sensors.

    Thanks. So I should look for another sensor for the bathroom, rated at least IP21. Too bad.

    You're right, I shouldn't have said waterproof.  The sensor is weatherproof.
    I guess if you can use it outside, it will also survive your bathroom.  Unless you plan to install it in your bath tub :wink:

    I haven't tried the 6 gen sensor from Aeotec yet... however I do hope it is *much* better than the previous generation, which was... frankly? crap.
  • bvdbosbvdbos Member
    Philips (once a big example for most of us) has a nice example of IP-ratings in bathrooms here...
    So minimum 21 indeed...
  • woeiwoei Member
    Anyone got some feedback for me on battery life of those gen 6 Aeon's? The website claims up to 2 years. I'm fine with even changing them twice a year, but I am really sceptical about their real world performance.
  • mruitermruiter Member
    for now battery stays at 100% but hey, they are not supported yet by homey
